Definitions

  • the invention relates to a universal tiltable and slidable - sunroof for motor vehicles.
  • sunroofs intended to be used for the first assembly. allow these distinct doubletreatments, but the constructors are facilitated in this task by the fact that such sunroofs are mounted in special spaces provided in the roof of the motor car, thus obtaining sunroofs especially designed and planned for a determined type of vehicle or, anyhow, for an automobile plant which adopts certain fixed dimensions for various models of their production range.
  • the subject-matter of the present invention is a universal sunroof, i.e. a sunroof of the type which may be mounted, as an accessory, on any type of motor cars and therefore is provided with mechanisms of tiltable reversion and translation of the reversible portion of the roof, which mechanisms are particularly compact and at the same time reliable for any type of motor car.
  • the sunroof according to the invention has also the great advantage in that it allows a perfect perimetral seal of the sunroof when this latter is closed, which seal, in many universal sunroofs which can be found on the market today,is not obtained even when these sunroofs are tiltable or slidable.
  • the invention proposes the provision of a universal tiltable and slidable sunroof for motor vehicles, characterized in that it is hinged frontally to a first guide shoe slidable longitudinally along fixed guides of the contour of the space formed in the sunroof; the sunroof being, in addition, articulated through a lever to a second guide shoe also slidable along the guides under'the action of flexible means controlled by means of a hand grip or a geared motor; locking means being also provided for locking said first guide shoe to the guides during a first section of translation of the second guide shoe, with a consequent initial tilting movement of the sunroof about the said hinging system, through said lever; automatic release members for releasing said locking means becoming operative, at the end of said initial tilting stage, simultaneously with further means arranged to render rigidly connected the two guide shoes and to generate the sliding of the sunroof during a second section of translation of the second guide shoe; there being furthermore provided members
  • a bouden or threaded flexible cable Connected in a known manner to the rotary hand grip or to the geared motore, (not shown), of the sunroof is a bouden or threaded flexible cable, indicated by reference numeral 10. Rigidly connected along the bouden 10 is the bushing 12 of a guide shoe 11 , more clearly shown in Figures 9 and ⁇ 10. Engaged on an end of the guide shoe is a bracket 13 provided with a sloping surface 14, whilst a lever 16 is hingedly connected at 15 to the other end.
  • Engaged with the guide shoe 11 is also a bracket 24 to which there is hinged at 17 a pawl 18 pushed by a spring 19 into the position shown in Fig. 10 in which an arm 20 of the pawl 18 abuts against the guide shoe 11.
  • Supported on the end of the arm 20 is a substantially C-shaped appendix 21provided for the purposes which will be illustrated later, whilst in the direction opposite to the arm 20 relative to the hinging point 17 the pawl 18 supports a second arm 22 whose end 23 is orthogonal to the direction of translation of the guide shoe 11.
  • bracket 24 Extending sideways from the bracket 24 is a section iron 25 provided with V-shaped grooves 26.
  • the guide shoe 11 is slidable within a fixed section iron 27 which in its turn is rigidly connected to the main frame 28 which forms of the space provided in the roof of the motor vehicle.
  • the lever 16 ( Figures 1, 3 and 5) is slidably hinged in a slot 29 of a bracket 30 with which the sunroof 31 is engaged. Furthermore, between the bracket 30 and the lever 16 there is inserted a spring 32 which tends to move the lever 16 to the position,shown in Figures 3 and 5, within the slot 29. At the other end of the bracket 30 there is a wedge 33 intended to cooperate with the bracket 13 of the guide shoe 11, as will be seen later; there is also provided a spring 34, one end of which exerts a pressure onto a pin 35 on which a slot 36 of-the bracket 30 slides.
  • Pin 35 is rigidly connected to a second guide shoe 37 which guides the sunroof 31.
  • this second guide shoe slides between the sidewalls of the section iron 27 and carries at the end opposite the pin 35 a shaped section iron 38 (Fig. 7) provided with a hole 39 having inserted therein a pin 40 maintained in the rest position shown in Fig. 7 by a spring 41 which pushes the head 42 thereof into a corresponding hole 43 of the section iron 27.
  • a hole 44 arranged to cooperate, as will be seen later, with the head 23 of the pawl 18, whilst in the section iron 27 there is applied a plate 45 arranged to cooperate with the C-shaped appendix 21 of said pawl 18.
  • a section iron 46 which cooperates with a bushing 47 rigidly connected to the bouden 10 and provided with a sloping plane 48.
  • Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the closed position of the roof 31 in which the seal along the perimetral sealing gaskets is ensured by the fact that the wedge 33 is restrained under the bracket 13 while the section iron 46 is restrained under the wedgs 48 and accordingly the roof 31 is pressed towards the passenger compartment on the perimetral gaskets (not shown).
  • the lever 16 is made to pass from the position shown in Fig. 1 to the position shown in Fig. 3, i.e. it rotates and slides along the slot 29, pulled by the spring 32, so that the sunroof 31 tilts about the pin 35 and reaches the opened position.
  • the sunroof 31 cannot slide during the rotation of the lever 16 because the pin 40 is driven into the hole 43 of the fixed section iron 27 and accordingly the guide shoe 37 which guides the sunroof 31, through the pin 35, is locked.
  • the guide shoe 11 After having terminated the operation of opening the sunroof 31, if one continues therotation of the handle or of the geared motor, the guide shoe 11 continues its stroke and the plate 25, rigidly connected thereto, wedges in under the head of the pin 40, thereby lifting it against the action of the spring 41, and thus withdrawing it from the hole 43, whereby the glass guide shoe 37 is allowed to translate within the fixed section iron 27.
  • the tooth 23 of the pawl 18 meets the cavity 44 of the guide shoe 37 and thereby rigidly connects the guide shoes 11 and 37 to one another.
